Cardiac masses are relatively rare, with a right atrial mass being even more rare. Right atrial masses pose a diagnostic dilemma owing to the diverse range of potential diagnoses, even when the clinical context and initial imaging modalities are thoroughly evaluated. A right atrial mass can have a varied etiology as it can be a physiological variant, or a neoplastic or a non-neoplastic mass with each having a separate line of management. This paper aims to highlight the etiology and the surgical outcomes of patients having a right atrial mass.
